"Hesperian" isn't going to cut it, I'm afraid...

Thanks for any suggestions!

hesperide


Explanation:
The adjective "hesperide" from the noun "hesperidium, sing; hespiridia, plur" seems to be fairly commonly used in the world of perfume, essences, etc..

The fragrances the nose creates will be based on eight themes – called ‘accords’. These are floral, chypre, oriental (masculine and feminine), woody, aromatic and hesperide (masculine and feminine). All these accords are split into many different subfamilies. http://www.thefactsabout.co.uk

Silver Mountain Water is composed of hesperide and natural essences. The scents of tea carry us away. The black currants give some depth to this sweet water.

Bvlgari Pour Femme has an intensely floral rather than a hesperide base and the fragrance is unusually swathed in tea and jasmine. http://www.perfume4u.co.uk/acatalog/Brands_Bvlgari.html

Leader of the aldehyde floral family, N°5's top note soars with hesperidia followed by a floral bouquet of jasmine from Grasse and may rose. Sandalwood and vetiver give the end note a woody touch.The perfume owes its mysterious facets to the presence of numerous aldehydes.
